CVE-2026-27015
NixOS vulnerability analysis and mitigation

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.23.0, a missing bounds check in smartcard_unpack_read_size_align() (libfreerdp/utils/smartcard_pack.c:1703) allows a malicious RDP server to crash the FreeRDP client via a reachable WINPR_ASSERTabort(). The crash occurs in upstream builds where WITH_VERBOSE_WINPR_ASSERT=ON (default in FreeRDP 3.22.0 / current WinPR CMake defaults). Smartcard redirection must be explicitly enabled by the user (e.g., xfreerdp /smartcard; /smartcard-logon implies /smartcard). Version 3.23.0 fixes the issue.
